Default Question about my new Tanabe springs???

I just got the car dropped with the NF210's and it looks great!! however when i was outside measuring it tonight, the front went down 1.5 inch on both sides....perfect!

but the back went down just about and inch on the left rear...while only half an inch on the right rear!!?? so the right rear is half an inch exactly higher!!

i jacked it up in the rear tonight and noticed on the left rear, the coil at the bottom of the spring sits in the clamp perfectly and faces the rear of the car.....while the right also sits perfectly in the shoe-boot, but is towars the front of the car!!??

would this be the problem as the spring thickness is almost exact one half inch...if i rotate the entire right spring so the cut part of the coil is also facing the rear of the car do you think this will do it!!??

any input appreciated!!

well sorry this is all i have right ow, it was dark and had to do lit in garage!!! also is filthy, needs to be washed and clean up my rims!!!

here goes..on 20's x 8.5, and Tanabe nf210 springs..dropped 1.5 in front and about .8 in at the back!!!!





for some reason the right rear is still almost half an inch higher than all the rest of the car!! the front is 27 in from ground to fender both sides as is the left rear!! but the right is almost 27.5 in !!????
